The Story of ACSA (TAC)

We began our journey in 1993, as we were unable to agree with the liberal agendas being pressed forward in every Diocese of the Church of the Province of South Africa (Anglican). We decided then to 'continue' in the faith of our fathers, using the Book of Common Prayer and pressing forward in the teaching of the Catholic Faith as it had been passed to us.

We had to leave our big churches and begin meeting in houses and garages. Our clergy had to find employment to sustain their ministries. It was not easy to live this Angicanlife, but gradually, as our fortitude became known, and our integrity tested, we became more established and respected in our communities. We were, in a real way, like the early church - beginning from nothing! How blessed to begin a work in simplicity and see it come to fruition...
